FOOTBALL – Promote, prolong the Premiership, relegate, promote again and now also become champions. Dick Lukkien keeps writing history with FC Emmen. What’s the next thing the trainer will tick off?
With a broad smile, Lukkien stood in front of the camera in the Jan Louwers Stadium last night after he briefly had mixed feelings after the defeat against FC Eindhoven, but mainly thanks to the 450 Emmen supporters who traveled with him, he quickly returned with the players and fellow trainer. on the pink cloud. “Of course you do not want to become champion after a defeat, but in the end it is of course about the entire season.”
“When I walk into the new stadium in about twenty years’ time and I see the scale, I don’t think back to this game, but to the entire season. The great collaboration with the player group, but also the sponsors and supporters and all employees who contributed to its success,” continued Lukkien.
“After the promotion in 2018, you told me to leave because I could never top this again. Well, we’ve surpassed it. And now? You want to elicit something from me, of course. But I want to continue building this club. and that is possible, in my opinion, if we get a new stadium. And who knows, we can then move to the left row in the Eredivisie.”
